What these millimetres work out to

  • In a 35 × 45 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 31.5–36 mm from the chin to the crown.
  • Of the 45 mm of height that leaves 9–13.5 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
  • At 300 dpi that is a head 372–425 pixels tall — below 372 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.

02Three steps

How to crop it, in three steps

  1. 01

    Upload a photo taken face-on, in even light

  2. 02

    The tool finds the face and aligns the frame itself — check that the head lands in 70–80%

  3. 03

    Save the 35 × 45 mm result — print it or attach it to the application

03What we fix

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes

Fixed for free

  • Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain white background for cases where a separate passport photo is required.
  • Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
  • Frame. Exactly 35 × 45 mm, by the document’s rules.
  • A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
  • File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.

What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes

  • Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
  • A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
  • Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 413 × 531 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
  • Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.

04Rejections

Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one

ReasonFix
A photograph taken at the application that the Hungarian authority finds not acceptable (so the spare photograph is needed)Bring a recent, sharp, plain-background passport-size photo as a spare, as the Los Angeles consulate recommends.
A child under 12 applying without a good-quality passport-size photograph when the child does not appearBring 1 good-quality passport-size photo of the child.
Appearing without the required identity documents or, for a minor, without both parents or the consent formBring the valid identity document and, for a minor, both parents or the signed consent.
05Good to know

Hungary-specific things to know

  • Hungary is a «photo taken at the counter» country for adults: the only photograph you may need is a spare (recommended in Los Angeles) or, for a child under 12 who does not appear, one good-quality passport-size photo.
  • The age 12 is the line: from 12 the applicant appears for the facial image, the signature and the fingerprints; under 12 there are no fingerprints, so the child does not have to appear and a photo is brought instead.
  • No size, head size or background colour is published on the pages read, so a brought photograph cannot be checked against a stated Hungarian specification.

Where these numbers come from

Source: Hungarian government (Ministry of Interior services) and the Consular Service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Last checked against the official page on 1 Oct 2026.

What the source confirms

  • Hungarian government, passport service description (translated from the Hungarian): the facial image, the signature and the fingerprints are taken when the application is submitted; the signature is taken if the applicant has turned 12 and is not unable to write; fingerprints are not taken if the applicant has not turned 12, is permanently or temporarily physically unable to give them, or cannot attend for health reasons confirmed in writing by the treating doctor.
  • Hungarian Consular Service, passport at the consulate (translated): the consular officer, after checking the applicant's personal data and Hungarian citizenship, takes the application — the photograph, fingerprints and signature in electronic form — and forwards it electronically; one must appear in person when submitting the application for the taking of the facial image, the signature and the fingerprints; the application of a minor is submitted by the parent (legal guardian); a minor under 12 is exempt from appearing because applicants under that age give no fingerprints.
  • Consulate General of Hungary in Los Angeles: applicants do not need to bring a passport-size photo — it is recommended in case the Hungarian authority notifies the Consulate General that the photo taken at the application is not acceptable; applicants over 12 must in general be present to have a picture taken, give fingerprints and an electronic signature; there is no need for the personal appearance of minors under 12, because they are not required to give fingerprints, and in such cases the parents bring 1 good-quality passport-size photo; for children under 6, one good-quality passport-size photo should be brought to the appointment; for a minor both parents have to be present, or one parent with the other's consent signed in front of a Hungarian notary public or consular officer.
